* Build a strong community

* Create SHARE application

−

* (DONE) Get accounts to key developers

== How to translate SOM content ==

−

* (DONE) Fill out this wiki with information from our discussions and slides

This is easy. If you have a XiphWiki account (you may login through OpenID) go to the original page, say [[Spread Open Media/en/FAQ]] and replace "en" by whatever language you speak (e.g. ja for Japanese, pt for Portuguese, etc.)

−

* Explanation of what spread open media is and what not (in multiple languages?)

−

* Examples of best practices such as an interview I did with SJ Klein for the OLPC (Bjorn)

−

* Clear and concise description / definition for open media formats, until now I focussed on using Bruce Perens' Open Standards definition (Bjorn)

If the link is '''Spread Open Media/en/It_is_a_nice_day''', then it becomes '''Spread Open Media/fr/It_is_a_nice_day''' if you are translating to French. Then, at the top of the article, the header, translate "It is a nice day" back to your language. Why? Because the link's name has to remain equal or the staff will not understand where is the French/Chinese/etc counter-part of the "It is a nice day" page, but if there's no translation of the title "It is a nice day" somewhere in the page, the staff won't know what to call the translated page when it's time to import it to the main site.

How to translate SOM content

This is easy. If you have a XiphWiki account (you may login through OpenID) go to the original page, say Spread Open Media/en/FAQ and replace "en" by whatever language you speak (e.g. ja for Japanese, pt for Portuguese, etc.)

If the link is Spread Open Media/en/It_is_a_nice_day, then it becomes Spread Open Media/fr/It_is_a_nice_day if you are translating to French. Then, at the top of the article, the header, translate "It is a nice day" back to your language. Why? Because the link's name has to remain equal or the staff will not understand where is the French/Chinese/etc counter-part of the "It is a nice day" page, but if there's no translation of the title "It is a nice day" somewhere in the page, the staff won't know what to call the translated page when it's time to import it to the main site.

Don't forget to also sign at the end. Put a "Translated by " in your language so that you get appropriate credit.
